CRYSTALENS
The CRYSTALENS® Procedure
The CRYSTALENS® procedure is performed in our surgery center. After a small incision is made at the edge of the cornea, the natural lens is removed with phacoemulsification and the CRYSTALENS® is implanted. CRYSTALENS® can usually be implanted in less than 15 minutes.
The recovery period is usually short. Most patients are able to pursue normal activities almost immediately after surgery. Discuss with your doctor beforehand what to expect before, during, and after the procedure as well as eye drops and postoperative office visits.
If you are like most patients who have the CRYSTALENS®, you can expect to enjoy the "luxury of sight" near, far, and everywhere in between and see everything more clearly. Your focus will be sharper than it has been in years, and you can expect to see improvements over time.
